As opposed to the usual strategies for identifying and disseminating awareness of engineering heritage, such as guides, catalogues, conferences, and exhibitions, which are more restricted in scope and generally appeal to only a specific sector of the population, this initiative develops an interpretive tool that, in addition to geolocating the public works inventoried and deepening their heritage value, showcases their social function and contribution to territorial and socioeconomic development. This tool analyzes the historical and cultural components of engineering works, and incorporates concepts such as path, network, and territory. It allows users a new type of cultural journey, characterized by a greater immersion in the landscape and territorial values of public works, explaining and disseminating their heritage worth in a way that appeals to society.
The waterworks heritage along the River Duero, outstanding for its landscapist and cultural content, includes a wide range of resources that merit conservation both for their intrinsic value and the benefits deriving from their physical use and tourist or other more general appeal in the context of sustainable development. Recognition of that reality is of cardinal importance in the perception and awareness of the territory.
Since March 2013, Fundación Miguel Aguiló (FMA) and Fundación DocomomoIbérico have been engaging in cooperative research to heighten public awareness of the built heritage and landscape.One of the aims of that joint project was to develop an app for mobile phones and tablets to help users identify and better understand heritage elements in situ.
